About this property
Set in a tiny hamlet in the heart of the Tamar Valley, is this beautiful detached cottage. Lovingly renovated, this former chapel enjoys charming features dating back to 1864, wrapped in green plantings and offering a luxurious interior for you and your loved one. Nestled between the towns of Liskeard and Callington, you have access to the colourful harbour at Looe and historic fishing port at Polperro. The rural surroundings only add to the appeal of the property, with an interior full of character. Walk down the gentle slope, which is lit up at night, and enter into your well-chosen accommodation for two. You will be welcomed inside by the high vaulted ceiling, stained glass arched windows and original pulpit in front of the stairway. The open-plan living room boasts a well-appointed kitchen with sleek wooden worktops and bespoke units, whilst the lounge offers Chesterfield sofas to sink into. Enjoy cosy evenings by the fire, before heading up to the king-size bedroom. Considered lighting uplifts the space elegantly, with a window seat adding to the features. From here you can access the sparkly bathroom, brought together with all-white hues. Outside you can bask on sun loungers, or indulge in alfresco dining, whilst the gas Weber barbecue can offer tasty lunches on the terrace, overlooking stunning views of the open fields. Nearby is a pub, post office and convenience shop in Callington, as well as Kit Hill towering above the Cornish town, from here you can enjoy views across South East Cornwall. The large village of Calstock is dominated by its 11-arch Railway Viaduct and well worth a visit, if only to explore the National Trust's Cotehele, a medieval house home to gardens, a quay and a working mill. Liskeard is just fourteen miles away with further shops, pubs and restaurants, along with a weekly market, whilst Looe boasts cobbled streets, twisting alleyways and a lovely beach adjoining the pier. Frogwell Chapel is a unique and romantic getaway for two not to be missed.
Nestled on the fringes of the Tamar Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is the market town of Callington in Cornwall. Once a mining town, Callington now offers an excellent location for a Cornish countryside break. The town is home to several shops, a bakery, some restaurants and pubs, providing all you need for a self-catered stay. Enjoy exploring the riverside scenery along the Tamar and visiting a host of popular towns nearby including Liskeard, Looe and Saltash.

Mark
We loved that it has retained some of the original âchapelâ features. It was extremely comfortable and well equipped in a lovely location. Our dog loved the local riverside walk, just over the bridge at the bottom of the hill, where parking is available. We would definitely recommend this letting especially if you want a quiet little hideaway!

Such as a bottle of wine of maybe some flowers. And also we have been staying in cottages for many years and have never been asked to strip the bed.
